I just got these and thought they wouldn't fit, but they worked fine and are waaaaay better than the ones I was using where the end stuck out and hit my cap. I read the instructions and did exactly as it said and seemed to work today. I will see how they hold up, but for the price it's definitely worth a try! Make sure you press against it with your fingers to get a complete seal. I don't know how they would work without a swim cap, but with the cap it worked really well and no hard pressure in my ear.

SUCCESS!

By cubanaqt

these earplugs mold pretty easily to your ear, but once the seal is broken between your ear and the plug, water gets in. it gets annoying when you are lap swimming because you have readjust them every time you finish a lap. however, your ear canal doesn't fill up with water as it would if didn't have them in and the water mostly stays on the outer ear under the plug. the plugs do stay in place, but i wouldn't recommend them for impact sports as i could see them easily being knocked out. they last about five uses and attrack dust/dirt pretty easily so keep them stored in the plastic case. i have found they work awesome for flying....greatly reduce noise and help with the pressure difference.

By CherCher

I have tinitis (ringing in the ear) & have to protect one ear from loud noises. Since I live in a new development in a big city we have noise all around us & the plugs drown out noise in my bad ear. Thank you, thank you thank you I am forever grateful.

2/11/2014Best ear plugs for me !

By josie

I can use these more then once . I make sure my ears are clean . They keep water out for the entire workout. I have noticed the price at the stores for these has gone up almost 3 x 's from what I paid 5 years ago. I realize that is a long time ago, I bought two packs of 6 pair and they lasted me this long. I don't find the 6 pairs any more, except now on line. Thank you !

8/16/2013wonder plug!

By Penelope P.

I swim hard for 1 hour a day. these plugs work best for me. they are soft and fit well in my ear with no discomfort. Although the package says each set of plugs can be worn for 5 or 6 times, I find a single pair works well for 20 days with no change in how they fit. Because I am prone to ear infections, I also wear the Macks ear band with the plugs. the two of them do a great job.

SUCCESS!

Swimming is a wonderful exercise, and Mack's Ear Care helps to prevent swimmer's ear and other maladies. In 1962, rising symphony orchestra musician Ray Benner collaborated with an almost-retired pharmacist who was interested in selling earplugs. Benner, an avid swimmer, diligently worked and created the first silicone earplug- and aptly changed the name to the more aesthetic Mack's Pillow Soft Ear Plugs. Mack, the name of the previous owner, has expanded their product line to encompass several different types of ear protection products.
